Re: 1959 4 speed auto tranny

If it is a Hydromatic (usually found in GMC's) it is pretty well indestructible, if you ever have to lift one out you will know why. My dad had 57 bus with one in it and they were used for racing in the 50's. But if you need to repair it, it is cheaper to convert to a more modern trans, parts are very expensive.
